In your patience possess your souls

" In your patience possess your souls" Luke 21:29

"Inner peace exists not in the flesh but in the will. We can hold onto peace in the midst of the most violent suffering, as long as the will remains firm and submissive to God despite its abhorrence of the situation. Peace on earth consists in accepting the things that are contrary to our desires, not in being exempted from suffering them, nor being delivered from all temptations."
